In the US Army, the rank below Corporal is Private First Class.

In the US Marine Corps and much of the British armed services (and in the armies of many other nations of the British Commonwealth), the rank below Corporal is Lance Corporal.

It's corporal.

If you want to know where it sits in military heirarchy but are too moronic to even phrase the question properly, it's:

Private

Lance Corporal

Corporal

Sergeant

Warrant Officer (these are ranks such as Company Sergeant Major, etc.........)

It's from the French word "caporal"--leader of the square. A Caporal would lead four soldiers into battle. They'd form into a square-shaped formation and the Caporal would stand in the middle.

Today's Corporal leads a small unit like a fire team, which is a four-man formation.
